Objective

I seek the opportunity to pursue a Master’s degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering in a prestigious institute, where I can explore my interest in research, grow not only as an individual but an esteemed researcher and be acquainted with people having congruent aims and interests.

Internships

Jun 2015 - Aug 2015

Research Assistant

Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur

Jul 2013 - Aug 2013

Technology Evangelist

Function Space is a collaborative learning network for students and researchers. My role included developing content in math, physics and engineering courses.

Projects

1. Project SFAAS: Prototyping a Smart Fetal ECG Acquisition and Analysis System (SFAAS) to monitor the health of the fetus and provide its diagnostics. This was achieved using NI LabVIEW programming and deploying it on NI myRIO FPGA platform. Qualified for the finals of NASA Tech Briefs Design the Future Contest, 2015.

2. Project Nest: Development of an IoT based home automation system using facial expressions. This was achieved using Haar Cascade Detection in OpenCV to extract the features and finally deployed on BeagleBone Black to control the lighting and cooling inside a room.

3. IntelloFan: Designing an intelligent fan using ultrasonic sensors and Maximum Length Sequence (MLS) diffusers installed on TI MSP430 microcontroller which automatically regulates the fan's intensity depending on the location of the occupant in the room.

4. Project Safar: Developing a low cost safety solution for fire breakouts in trains by using thermopiles and NI LabVIEW to automate water sprinklers, disengage the affected compartment and contact the nearest station for help.
